Prayer Works 9

MORE RAISED FROM DEAD IN ETHIOPIA

"I went to the hospital in Atad to speak with people about Jesus and to see if I could pray for anyone. When I arrived, I discovered a dead young woman on a stretcher, surrounded by weeping relatives. I went to them, thinking I could perhaps comfort them, and was told that the daughter had been sick for a long time and had just died. I helped the family in their preparations for the burial, but wanted so much to do more than that. I started to pray. As I did, I felt my hands moving over the dead woman's stomach, and heard myself praying 'I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, even if they are dead, will live!' I repeated this prayer over and over. The family soon became disturbed and even angry, but one of the relatives was a Christian. He felt that something special was happening, so asked the others to leave the room for a moment. The young Christian, who I did not know, then joined me in prayer. I felt something like fire enter my body and pass through my hands. Suddenly, the woman opened her eyes and sat up. The relatives rushed in, naturally rejoicing. I was able to explain the gospel to them all. The following day, the woman was released from hospital, because the doctors could no longer find any signs of illness. She told her young Christian relative to teach the family how to follow Jesus."

"In our house church, I heard that one of the Christian's relatives had been taken to the hospital in Addis Ababa in a serious condition. I went with the Christian to the hospital, but we were not allowed to see the sick woman. After some time, a hospital employee came and allowed only me to go to the woman. As I arrived on the ward, I heard as the doctors were told that the woman had just died. The hospital employee left me alone with the dead woman. I was actually perplexed, because I thought God wanted me to pray for the woman's healing. Then I realised that he wanted me to pray for her even now, so I prayed for her, calling her back to her body. Suddenly, she opened her eyes. She felt much better. The nurses, confused, called some doctors, who immediately examined her, asking why they should examine someone who obviously felt much better. The woman was later released from hospital, and soon came to our church to tell of the miracle."
